[PATCH 1/3] arm64: vdso: put vdso datapage in a separate vma

[will.deacon@arm.com (Will Deacon)]

The VDSO datapage doesn't need to be executable (no code there) or
CoW-able (the kernel writes the page, so a private copy is totally
useless).

This patch moves the datapage into its own VMA, identified as "[vvar]"
in /proc/<pid>/maps.
